A freshman (US), fresher (UK) (or sometimes fish, freshie,prep; slang plural freshmeat,frosh, or froxh) is a first-year student in secondary school, high school, college or university. The term first year can also be used as a noun, to describe the students, themselves or others (e.g. They are first years).

It seems that I am always in my first year of something. Just when I get to that point where I think I am about to be the top of the heap, the next year comes along and I find myself back at the beginning of something new.

It is not bad. I love learning new things. I’ll try to show you some of what I am starting over here.
